They released their debut album Welcome Home in April 2012, which they recorded with Garth Richardson at his farm studios in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The album was mixed by Rich Costey. It debuted at number 41 on the UK Albums Chart, peaking at number 32 during the midweek chart update, and birthed singles "The First Time", "Welcome Home", "Quiet Night In", "The Horizon" and "Another Miracle". "Quiet Night In" and "The Horizon" were both featured as Zane Lowe's hottest record in the world on BBC Radio 1. The album was named on XFM's 'Best Albums of 2012' list.[1]

On 25 July 2013, the band announced via their social media channels that drummer Will Heaney had left due to personal reasons. Guitarist David Cartwright left shortly after.[2][3]

In December 2013, All the Young announced the single "You & I", released exclusively for the Manchester United documentary film The Class of '92.

Hiatus

In March 2014, Ryan and Jack Dooley announced that they would be taking a break from All the Young for the "foreseeable future", citing their struggle to replace original members Will Heaney and David Cartwright as the main reason. Ryan went on to play as a solo artist, before forming his own band Faraday. Jack joined Big City Beach alongside Matt Bowman of The Pigeon Detectives.

Return

On 14 April 2019, All the Young announced they would be playing a one off show at Keele University on 7 September of that year in memory of their late friend Jackson Cummings, with all proceeds going to North Staffs Mind charity. The show raised nearly £8,000 for the charity due to strong ticket sales, and after this success the band announced they would be staying together for good with plans for gigs and new releases scheduled for 2020 and beyond.

The band had originally booked a short UK tour for September 2020 in venues across the country, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it would unfortunately have to be postponed. In October 2020 the band announced via their social media pages that the tour had been rescheduled for 2021 and that tour dates and venues would be announced in the forthcoming months.
